The Next Target?
July 4, 2014
Following the footsteps of Virginia Tech and Columbine High School in Colorado, the Target department store chain has recently declared that its stores are “gun-free zones.” The company announced that its customers in states in which it is legal to carry firearms in public are not welcomed to bring them into their stores. Wal-Mart, on the other hand, sells all the same crap that Target does for less money and sells firearms and ammunition in some of its stores. It has just become a little more dangerous to shop at Target stores.
